PD 1096: THE NATIONAL BUILDING CODE OF
THE PHILIPPINES RULE 8: LIGHT AND
VENTILATION || 100% ACCURATE Q&A!!
TOSL correct answers total open space within lot
TLA correct answers total lot area
PSO correct answers percentage of site occupancy
ISA correct answers impervious surface area
MACA correct answers maximum allowable construction area
USA correct answers unpaved surface area
the total open space required for each type of use or occupancy for a given lot. correct
answers TOSL
it is the portion of the lot consisting of the ISA and the USA combined and expressed as a
percentage of the total lot area. correct answers TOSL
a quality related to the maximum allowable AMBF under rule 7 and the TLA under this rule
via the equation _ = AMBF divided by TLA. correct answers maximum allowable PSO
expressed as the % of the maximum allowable enclosed floor area of any building/structure at
the ground floor/grade level in relation to the TLA. correct answers PSO
includes the footprints of both the main and auxiliary building but specifically excludes the
basement footprint correct answers PSO
the percentage of the maximum allowable floor area of any paved, tiled or hardscaped surface
at the ground floor/grade level (located outside the main building or structure) in relation to
the TLA. correct answers maximum allowable ISA
consists of build-up areas within the lot connected to the main building/structure but without
opaque or solid roofing, e.g. patios, grade level terraces, driveways, walks, parking areas and
the like. correct answers maximum allowable ISA
since it is paved but unroofed, the _ is considered an open space and may therefore be
combined with the USA, on portions of the lot to satisfy the total open space requirement for
each type of use or occupancy. correct answers ISA
the word _ in the term ISA denotes that the paved surfaces generally do not allow water
percolation into the soil nor do they allow the soil to breathe and that such developments are
generally composed of light-reflective and heat-reflective surfaces. correct answers
impervious
